Pamela F. FagertD Vice President and Chief Environmental Officer '% ominion 5000 Dominion Boulevard, Glen Allen, VA 23060 Phone: 804-273-3467 Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested April 13, 2005 Mr. E. L. Stuart DEQ - Northern Regional Office 13901 Crown Court Woodbridge, VA 22193-1453 RE: North Anna Power Station - Facility and Laboratory Inspection
Dear Mr. Stuart:
On December 15, 2004, you conducted an inspection of the wastewater treatment facilities and laboratory at North Anna Power Station. No deficiencies were noted during the laboratory portion of the inspection. However, you made two recommendations concerning the operation of the wastewater treatment facilities. Each recommendation will be addressed.
- 1. The Sludge Management Plan needs to be updated to include information on the generation and disposal of non-WWTP radioactive sludge. The current operations strategy includes the application of radioactive sludge from outside the WWTP to the drying beds at the WWTP. Once the radioactive sludge has dried, it is properly disposed of.
As Carter Cooke, Senior Environmental Compliance Coordinator for North Anna Power Station, discussed with you via telephone on March 9, 2005, the placement of bearing cooling sludge in the WWTP drying beds was a one time occurrence due to the demolition of the bearing cooling tower. As a result, you agreed that it was not necessary to revise the Sludge Management Plan.
- 2. The Power Station staff should consider the feasibility of installing an emergency generator to provide an alternative source of electricity for the WWTP.
A portable generator is maintained at the power station. Should the WWTP loose power, the portable generator is brought to the plant. A Request for Engineering Assistance has been submitted to Station Engineering to evaluate the feasibility of permanently installing an emergency generator at the WWTP.
If you have any questions or desire addition information, please call Ron Birckhead of my staff at (804) 273-2992 or Mr. Cooke at (540) 894-2856.
Si erely, Pamela F. Faggert
